Rana Sanaullah, the Prime Minister's political adviser, declared on Saturday that the PML-N would establish the government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) with a two-thirds majority following the third phase of elections. The third phase, originally scheduled for Poonch division, has been confined to Bagh and Haveli districts due to security concerns.
Sanaullah addressed a rally in Bagh, stating that the PML-N secured 24 seats in the first two phases, requiring six more for a two-thirds majority. He anticipated that four more seats would follow the August 10 polls, and five more when elections are held in the rest of Poonch Division. Sanaullah assured that a PML-N government would prioritize development projects, promising that they would meet with members of the JAAC, a proscribed committee demanding the abolishment of 12 refugee seats.
He emphasized that 99% of JAAC protesters were "our brothers," patriotic Kashmiris and Pakistanis, urging cooperation in exposing and defeating divisive elements. Sanaullah highlighted past federal support for AJK, including a Rs23 billion package and wheat subsidies, as well as five Daanish Schools, and pledged that Nawaz Sharif would nominate one of the PML-N candidates in Bagh as the future prime minister of AJK.
